I can't believe it: I don't get it; I don't know what else to do. In the doctor's letter, he wrote that I have "extensive syringomyelia and will require and electric wheelchair in the near future". I went to all their tests, did all their paperwork, had the attorney file it and I'm "not disabled under their rules". My syrinx goes from C3 conus (all the way down): how much more does it take? Does anybody else have this problem?Thanks - best wishes to everybody.Love, fake smiles, and hope to get some replies: loosing it.Marymac

Sorry to hear that you were denied for disability. I know every State is different and I recently saw a 60 Minutes segment on disability where a lawyer had a 100 percent approval rate and under investigation by the government. Unfortunately those who take advantage of the system and give it bad name make it harder for those who deserve it.

I am so sorry to read this! I don't know your system, but I want you to let you know that you are not alone in this struggle world wide. I know that this won't give you comfort, but it is all I can say right now!
